The Northern Quarter is home to some of Manchester’s finest fashion outlets, and Thomas Street’s Renegade Marmalade is no exception, tucked away downstairs at no. 77 it’s an absolute fashion gem. A cool and relaxing location away from the hectic high street, customers can really enjoy perusing the rails of unique and inspiring garments and accessories. Fashion duo Victoria and Toria travel across Europe to individually select every item that enters the shop floor, so you can expect individuality and quality in every item. The combination of their experience in the fashion industry from the initial design stages through to the catwalks lends well to providing an eclectic range. Such variety of clothing and accessories perfectly match the ethos of this shop, Renegade to represent the strong female character and Marmalade the sweet more traditionally feminine aspects. As well as the choice of independent designers available, Renegade Marmalade commission custom pieces exclusively for the shop. The Viva girls left with an Elaine Widdowfield jumpsuit, offering a stunning fit and finish you will never find on the high street. Jewellery designers uno de 50 caught our attention, only ever creating 50 pieces of each design you know you’re getting something truly special, not to mention the imaginative eccentricity of the designs. Some say fashion is art, well at Renegade Marmalade they would be right, one New York designer transforms tank tops into canvasses for his expressive creations. Renegade Marmalade is opening a new store in the very near future so watch out for what we expect will become a Manchester fashion landmark. Words: Nadia Ismail
